Techno

Léa Occhi  

We kick off the month of March with a Parisian power woman based in Berlin, co-founder and resident of the Spectrum in Paris, LGBTQ+ collective with freedom, tolerance, respect, share as main values. Inspired by the Berliner culture and the LGBT community, Léa definitely knows how to make the people dance. Her music always oscillates between rhythmic groovy techno and deep bass lines.

These last years, you might have seen her playing at the wildest parties of Paris like Possession, Peripate, Concrete, La Machine du Moulin Rouge & La Toilette. While definitely not sitting still in her current city either, electrifying dance floors at famous clubs Griessmüehle, Renate, TRESOR, ://About Blank & of course her radio shows at HÖR Radio. Sharing the booth alongside great artists such as Courtesy, Florian Meindl, Kas:st, I Hate Models, SNTS, Adriana Lopez, Setaoc Mass and many others in the process.    

This set is very progressive; slow and tribal at first, transitioning in a dark & mental atmosphere. It reflects her (and probably all of our) mood: the need to escape. Be sure to be on the lookout for her first EP which she is currently working on. 

Let her music do the talking.

OECUS Podcast 278 // BLANKA

Joining us this episode is the Canticle Records label boss and groove machine Assumption. Hailing from the french capital, this young DJ and producer has been consistently pushing his own minimalistic and puristic vision of techno through well-crafted sets and equally impressive releases. His sound is tight, polished and yet at the same time spacey and imaginitive, allowing the listener to drift off into the depths of his own mind. This set is a mental journey par excellence, through rhythmic excursions and dotted with sounds that defy explanation.

VOLTAGE Podcast 30 - Lea Occhi

Lea Occhi DJ Set - Horses

999999999 -officially started in July 2016 and already affected the most important clubs and festivals all around Europe. They aroused much interest even outside the continent becoming one of the most requested live acts of the techno scene. First three releases on their label "Nine Times Nine" and their appearance on Planet Rhythm special "303" vinyl release were immediately sold out after few hours. Live is what they are whether in or out of the studio, they are spontaneous. Improvisation with hardware is the key element of their performance and is impossible to replicate.

Michelle – she made an entrance as evocative as her music: riotous and punchy, acid basslines struck against gospel chords, anti-establishment narrations from a godlike together with a certain grace and groove… all inducing a dark yet heavenly trance. You could call it hardcoredancing.

„I mentally had a time travel during the recording of this Podcast, back to the beginning of the year, were I did the opening for the 4th birthday of SYNOID.
Definitely the wildest opening ever.
Completely filled floor after 20min, people escalating from the beginning and my self being in a different dimension. 
We all miss this time so bad!
So have fun and a nice trip back in time.“

As the founder of the Monochrom Party Series at his home base ://about blank, Strongrain is having a huge love for Vinyl. So his set’s are mostly made of them and always contain well placed oldschool classics. 
Most important stylistic device for his sets are a constant flow and energy.

Hadone is one of the most interesting new artists in techno, making his way up in quick ascent. Recently he’s been added to the Possession family as a resident alongside heavy hitting releases on esteemed labels such as Monnom Black and KAOS. He’s already set several clubs across the globe alight in the last few months not only as Hadone but also alongside Shlomo with their Vipa Diva project.

90s Techno remains his main influence, to which he adds his own touch that we all know. This combination gives us a simple and melancholic result that defines his musical identity, creating his own unique style.
